What could be better than a few days in the Gladstone Region? A whole week! Yes a very happy and stimulating week in the region, travelling from top to toe consulting with the cultural champions and broader community as preparation for the new Arts and Cultural Policy and Plan. The local enthusiasm for arts and culture as an important part of a healthy and happy community life is ubiquitous. I finished the week feeling even more excited by the opportunity to help make a plan that will contribute significantly to the vibrancy and vitality of the region. More work to come but a happy task.
